I think outlaw is ahead on overall, idk about for timing purposes which spec is better - likely depends on key and comp

hallow glade
#

is sin better for aa

#

outlaw feels real bad there

lime edge
#

Outlaw does no dmg in first pull no

crisp pine
#

oh shit we all swapping to outlaw

hallow glade
#

youre just playing catch up the whole key eating downtime

crisp pine
#

let me dust off the sword

hallow glade
#

maybe sub angle idk

storm forum
#

Sin is best for giga fucking one of the lashers so ur tank doesn't die after 30 seconds

static glacier
#

Algethar is a wierd one, first pull is mass but everything other than that and the books is within outlaw’s target count iirc

#

Unless people cooked some route I’ve not seen

lime edge
#

The pull before 3rd boss is also too big for outlaw

hallow glade
#

outlaw isnt great on a haste buff / damage amp boss

Oh u said books

#

Im blind

storm forum
#

I am also blind lmao

static glacier
#

No idea which is better in reality

#

We can just discuss observable metrics

storm forum
#

I like the double big wyrm pull if you can bait it onto the tank

#

But most of the time it's terrible

crisp pine
#

Does outlaw use puzzle box

storm forum
#

I don't think so

crisp pine
#

well

#

It's the better spec then

storm forum
#

I think mastery is usually terrible for OL

crisp pine
#

simple as that

Lmao

Mastery is their worst stat

Get him out

thorn thorn
#

Crucial detail

#

It was only a 10

#

We were getting the outlaw some keys in for rolls and vault and shit

#

Idk what he wanted from pit

#

Is there even anything good for rogue in pit

lime edge
#

Yes

#

Theres like 4 crit haste pieces

thorn thorn
#

huge

#

Your rogues were trolling

thorn thorn
#

I have the log if you are curious

#

Idk bro I was just there to vibe

#

And get crests

velvet vault
#

!plater

prisma monolithBOT
thorn thorn
#

The aug is an alt so I need to do approx 7 morbillion keys to get all the crests I need

fallow canopy
#

I wanted to try surv but looking at the amount of crests i need to farm makes me instantly log out

thorn thorn
#

Crest farming is easy but its soulrotting work

#

Cuz you just queue up into keys that are impossible to brick with 4 other people of acceptable competence

#

Repeat for like 9 hours at minimum

fallow canopy
#

That life aint for me garf_sit

#

I'm dragging my way to 8 weekly keys on my main and considering atp to just do 4

#

And thats without pugging if I had to pug I'd just do the one

thorn thorn
#

Our tank was a massive wimp and only doing 1-2 packs at a time

#

Idk why

#

He never got close to death

lime edge
#

Oh LO

thorn thorn
#

Which for a bdk is just insane

#

His health legit never went below 50% the entire key i dont think

crisp sluice
#

is it absolutely impossible for me to parse purple in mythic if i dont have gaze and puzzlebox?

#

Im comparing my timeline to other guys and theyre basically identical but i have a 263 crucible and the stupid haste guidon trinket cause no luck

worn geyser
#

no puzzle box is definitely not doing u favors, hero puzzle farming would def help

#

not saying u cant purple, but def doesnt help

sacred oyster
#

justt spam run AA and SR until you get those 2 trinkets

#

or even hero chim

spice surge
#

Skyreach one is barely better than crucible anyway

latent kernel
#

Everyone says the game is so alt friendly which it is in the sense that it’s easy to do, but holy fuck is it boring to try and catch and alt up to speed

thorn thorn
#

70 morbillion keys

buoyant herald
#

I don’t disagree but should you be able to just like…gear something instantly?

#

I think crest cost reductions should kick in earlier somehow maybe

#

Maybe be able to transfer crests between warband at a penalty?

#

That gets degen though for gearing mains early

#

Unlock it on .5 patch? Idk. Lots of thoughts

thorn thorn
#

Idk its fine mostly now compared to the past

#

The amount of keys you have to do is immense

#

Cuz its not an issue of actually getting the gear

buoyant herald
#

It’s definitely way better in that it’s actually possible

#

But it does take some time investment for sure

thorn thorn
#

You can easily get all hero slots before you even have the crests to upgrade them all

#

And you will spend way longer farming the crests to upgrade than you will farming the gear itself

buoyant herald
#

Well that goes for myth too now

thorn thorn
#

ya

#

With the rerolls its easy to get lots of myth items

buoyant herald
#

It does kind of feel to me like it’s people without a tonne of available time having the issues

#

But that’s been a thing in this game since forever so idk

thorn thorn
#

But you still need to do a truly exhausting amount of keys to upgrade

#

So

#

Its probably fine

buoyant herald
#

Should you be able to be gear capped in week 6?

thorn thorn
#

If I were able to change it all I would do is after the 0.5 patch make crest discount when your main has outgrown the crest

#

@balmy condor

buoyant herald
#

Yeah I agree with that

balmy condor
#

!ban @timid orbit spam

thorn thorn
#

And/or crest discount when you are below your mains ilvl

#

And to match you still use regular crests?

#

Dunno

thorn thorn
buoyant herald
#

Given how meta driven the game is I think they do need to increase flexibility for sure

#

Especially when they nuke specs mid season too (rip MM)

thorn thorn
#

Either that or in the 0.7 patch just make it so crest discount for alts perma

merry monolith
#

Yeah I get declined to 10s when Ive timed 16s cause not meta

thorn thorn
#

By 0.7 most people who are doing CE easily are already very well into being done or nearly done

#

And people can just play alts

buoyant herald
#

I mean I don’t even have aotc yet and I’m doing like 4 keys a week and my main is 282

#

It’s super fast to max out right now

thorn thorn
#

But 0.5 patch also prolly fine

buoyant herald
#

So playing alts becomes the thing to do

thorn thorn
#

Thats usually like the halfway point for a season

#

And by that point most people will be playing at least one alt

#

Either for prog or just for fun

#

So a 0.5 crest reduction for alts prolly wouldnt be the worst

#

I am personally mostly content with how it i now

#

doing lots of content lets you get lots of practice

#

But it mostly presents an issue when you wanna actually push on the spec or do the hard content on it

#

And you get roadblocked by ilvl and having to farm crests

buoyant herald
#

If you’re gearing an alt as a better fit for your group then I’d expect you’re doing a tonne of keys anyway so yeah I think it’s fine

#

Gilded cap right now is what 700

#

Which is just over 40 keys at 13 which is easily doable if you have a group

#

We had guys in guild ripping over 100 keys in week one lol

thorn thorn
#

despair

buoyant herald
#

Bro I know it sounds brutal

#

But 40 keys is a big weekend

#

I don’t think that’s unreasonable to ask if you did want to switch

thorn thorn
#

Ya its prolly fine

#

For casual players or casual alters though thats an insane amount

#

I do like 10 keys a week at most OMEGALUL

analog field
#

Yeah but why do you need to be crest capped on this alt?

#

If you are doing 10 keys per week , being a couple ilvls lower is not a problem

thorn thorn
#

We did just say why it matters but the tldr is if you plan to push on the alt or to help mythic prog you wanna gear it as quick as possible

#

You dont need to be crest capped but you will very easily be covered in hero/myth items before you have the crests to fully upgrade them all

#

So you just gotta put on your farmers hat and start doing keys

analog field
#

If you plan to push on an alt you will get the crests eventually. It's only if you need to get a new character to mythic prog and you still don't need to do crazy things just a bit more

slim pebble
#

Mind numbing or atrophic for higher keys?

analog field
#

If you are a coordinated group you can make a case for atrophic but numbing usually is better both for casting speed but also trash attack speed

rancid anvil
#

any assassination rogues that stream mythic raiding i can watch?

royal lantern
#

if you pushh the absolute hhigest title range keys where survivng a mechanic with a deffensive active with 3% hp can be a thing, atrophic

#

Or just give me a x10 crest multiplier lmao

#

The issue is that the endgame right now is essentially: push m+, raid, or collect shit, just let me hop into that shi asap

buoyant herald
#

crest multiplier for alts seems like a good idea

#

or a bigger discount at least

normal mist
#

FF14 gonna do it next expansion

latent kernel
#

I mean this is purely my opinion, I know peeps like the gatekeep gear and flex status, but I honestly really would not care if they just gave everyone myth bis items and said go at it for the season

normal mist
#

and it will be glorious

buoyant herald
#

thats what tournament realms are for 😛

latent kernel
#

^^100%

buoyant herald
#

i don't think it's about flexing status

latent kernel
#

But it’s just the portion of the game I enjoy, I don’t like the timegate slow gear drip, I’m just tryna blast immediately

buoyant herald
#

ultimately you're playing an rpg and you can tell blizz wants to keep some element of that

latent kernel
#

Because realistically the difference is you just give me everything at once and I blast for a few weeks and then quit for the season, or you slow drip gear and I raid log hitting 3hr of keys every week and that’s it

#

And obviously one of those is better for blizzard

#

I wish blizzard would just open their own separate tournament realms where you could just blast immediately etc

latent kernel
#

and with D4 out, I’m hitting 8 10s, raid nights and then logging for the week

#

Because D4 is fantastic rn

#

like you'll get the raw ilvl, but probably not the actual good stat combo
then again, just meld crit I guess, crit is always good

#

kinda wish they'd rejigger the substats, sks/sps needs to be merged and stronger since the 2min meta is dying anyway, unsyncing is no longer a worry

#

dhit is just worse crit, and det is the same way as vers in wow - you can get it, but it's almost always like 3rd best option

#

Thinking deathmark jumping to a different mob is an appropriate talent addition does not inspire much confidence in future changes

is there a current talent build pin anywhere

spice surge

Like the stun talent for sub that's also 15% clone damage

I feel like that juice would be making it so we could move the debuff by pressing it again off the GCD

#

WoW is played FOR the Gear chase

#

its proven for literally ove 20 years now: if content doesnt reward gear, people dont interact with it for long if at all

#

m+ numberss always go down the drain when people are fully geared because turns out "i can just play for fun" is suddenly not the case for like 95% of the players anymore when it doesnt give a tangible reward

"number go up" is how you keep people playing long term

@balmy condor hey im doing mythic chim tonight and just happened to be looking at some of your recent logs to see your talents etc - i saw you have a bunch of haste and mastery gems on?

royal lantern
#

and then full tokens after like 2months

balmy condor
#

Assa got no tuning

anyway, here's the big nerf to trickster for outlaw/sub with compensation buffs. On first glance to me it seems fairly neutral for rogue balance overall, probably hits outlaw but remains to be seen.

Go show some love and patience to @spice surge and @hard river while they dive into what it means for sub/outlaw

rocky holly
#

is that gem enchant set up for sin or for sub?

balmy condor

no clue tbh

why do they do no

#

changes to assa

but buff other 2

are they really behind

ornate aspen

Those are likely nerfs for the other 2, so

dawn seal
#

oh sorry i saw

#

all damage by %5 and %7

#

i didnt read the rest

vital flicker
#

I mean I think blizzard didn't want cloud cover to be so powerful , but the hopeful outcome would be that it isn't a nerf

jaunty sky
#

The vibe is that both outlaw and sub are not taking it anymore

dawn seal
#

oh

#

is cloud cover

#

important

#

sorry i dont play them

#

what is exactly changing if its not a bother

jaunty sky
#

It gave a LOT of extra crit damage

#

And now it doesnt anymore and duration got nerfed by 40%

ornate aspen
#

It was massive for both

dawn seal
#

o

#

oh shit

#

no one really wants to get a rogue

#

why do they do this

jaunty sky
#

Sub will just recraft back to mastery and use mastery flask again

#

Outlaw might go back to fatebound

#

Is what it is

#

All a conspiracy to put more money into big crafters pockets

jaunty sky
#

Another 10k to recraft back to mastery for me most likely

#

At least i didnt roll rings with bonus rolls

storm forum
#

@balmy condor are the allegations that you suggest crafting wrists instead of cloak on the wowhead guide because you are in the pocket of big leatherworking true?

outer marsh
#

I've come to the conclusion that sub is the best rogue spec up to like +17 ish due to time-to-kill of the packs, and that outlaw/assa are more or less equal above that, with assa having higher prio damage and outlaw having better overall sustain. Curious what other's thoughts are on the topic

when will they give us a piece of bread fellas

God forbid two rogue specs have the same stat prio for more than a week.

I was really hoping we were gonna make our mage play bear on belo for prog but i guess thats not happening now

inner crypt
vital flicker
#

so are the rogue masses going to come crawling back to the sin tab now?

primal parrot
#

i think the rogue masses are going to a mental hospital because we keep getting shafted no matter what spec we play

storm forum
#

i mean, they got comp buffs too, and before the rework they werent really behind sin that much, esp if their damage profiles were better in a certain scenario so peeposhrug

rocky holly
#

looking at logs i see a lot of people switching in and out of Doomblade, Fatal Concoction and Poison Bomb - what are the reasons you swap in and out of these?

storm forum
#

but im also a sin 1 trick so what do i know

fleet whale
#

why is fatebound decent for assassin while being so bad for outlaw?

storm forum
#

for assa FB numbers just 5-10% better than the other one

#

also feels better to play cause more resources

#

for OL, afaik it was just cause trickster was OP af

#

might change with the next patch where it gets nerfed

vital flicker
ornate aspen
vital flicker
#

and even then, there are lots of dungeons that sin is on par

storm forum
#

I just don't think OL is unplayable after the nerfs

#

and like you said, OL probably better in some dungeons and worse in others

#

maybe every OL needs a dagger for AA

#

for the 2-3 big pulls

#

maybe it's fine cause every other pack in there is like 1-5 targets, like 7 max for double pulls

worn geyser
#

i mean theyre prolly about equal to sin across all dungeons now if the nerfs are less than 10% idk im not outlaw mathematician who knows how much that shit actually is in m+ tho

#

in high key

storm forum
#

I'm just spit balling cause Eleem and whoever does the OL tc haven't made pins yet

#

and for some reason people are asking about them in the assassination channel

worn geyser
#

ye idk, outlaw doomers are gonna play outlaw anyway like sin doomers play sin still

#

all rogue doom together

storm forum
#

hell yeah sibling

fleet whale
#

Well I guess outlaw was rising pretty hard the past two weeks, but Blizz pulled the rug before they were able to get on top of the mountain

worn geyser
#

the tuning changes are def wonky, dk less than 10% is criminal

storm forum
#

my personal theory is that the blizz internal testing server is wildly different than live for some reason

#

which is why everything keeps getting over and undershot

#

and why old bugs keep getting reintroduced

some kind of version control issue they're having an issue fixing for some reason

id rather no changes then go thru outlaw buff for 2 week into bigger nerf than dk

#

I mean idk what would be the main thing you would tune for assassin

fleet whale
#

the spec is very strong in ST, if you try to buff something like caustic it could cause some issues

i mean

#

what issues

storm forum
#

yeah, we get to be in limbo like fire mage/shadow priest cause of spatter

i guess ill have to join the assa clan

balmy condor
#

this is the energy from deathmark bud

whole mason
#

oh, sry for my confusing comment. I mean they cut off multi-target energy and energy pack from adds death (25 base line now).

#

It is not a bad outcome tho, even they made significant reduction on multi-taget energy system. However, on 2-3 target or small adds fight, Sin now shares the low efficiency problem with outlaw and sub in a certain perspective.

need help what next?

oh hmm how much energy are we supposed to get from Deathmark, 80? Doesnt seem like it gives that ever.

#

outlaw got nerfed

#

not buffed

honest comet
#

Ye I read the rest

#

4-6% depending on situation.

Rogues cooked this expansion 😅

brave gyro
#

They are really trying to make all of us reroll

#

maybe we really need to hit rock bottom for some changes

autumn sierra
#

But now Assa best spec I guess🤣

brave gyro
#

i just hit 3400 last night as solo pug player, as assa. Bonus rolled outlaw weap to get into it, as it was my least played spec this expansion

#

My bad i guess

coral pivot
#

Outlaw is still good

#

But ultimately play what you think is the most fun

brave gyro
#

i always try to play the full class (as long as its not trolling to play a spec)

brave gyro
#

somehow, outlaw gets bigger nerf than Augvoker

coral pivot
#

They got buffed 16% and now lost 6%. So they are stronger than before cloud cover change

brave gyro
#

still weaker spec than a lot of other classes tho

#

and we get bigger nerf for it

coral pivot
#

Phys comp is quite up there this time around

brave gyro
#

yeah, but its not reliable for solo players to be in one

coral pivot
#

Rogue's major pain point in keys is that we bring very weak buff and utility not that strong

#

Only way damage tuning fixes that is if we out damage any other spec

ornate aspen
#

Agree. Rogue is in need of a complete overhaul

brave gyro
#

we are squishy, bring nothing and now dmg is nerfed

coral pivot
brave gyro
coral pivot
#

We are just not squishy

coral pivot
#

We can die to rot damage, but we are not squishy

brave gyro
#

if it wasn't for feint, we are done

coral pivot
#

That is exactly why we have feint

ornate aspen
#

Feint with elusiveness has got to be the single best defensive in the game

#

Its insane

coral pivot
#

There's an argument that we are squishy in raid because often we paly cheat death over elusiveness

#

But we have something for just about every single damage mechanic in dungeons because of elusiveness

brave gyro
#
  • cloak nerfed, DK gets beter one
  • Evasion mostly useless outside of a few scenarios
  • Smoke bomb removed, DH gets better one
  • defensives and cc cost us dmg
#

idk how you defend that

coral pivot
#

By us being one of the best defensive classes in the game

brave gyro
#

but thats not true

ornate aspen
#

Rogue kit is dog, but it still is absurdly durable

brave gyro
#

we die to so many more things other classes breeze through

#

especially this expansion, where half the shit in M+ is dots

#

which we have nothing for

coral pivot
#

But, much like Zorthas says. It does also require skill to use well

coral pivot
#

Much like how shadow priests aren't good at handling burst damage, but is very good at handling rot damage

#

Almost as if classes and specs excel in different areas

#

DK is a walking tank, but again. It is walking and also brings a utility that people tend to breeze over in keys

ornate aspen
#

At a certain point it does become a healer issue. If I can defensive every bit of burst damage the mobs throw out but die to rot damage, that's not on me

coral pivot
#

Which is also a good point

#

Punz, do you know why the rogues during RWF were placed where they were during the intermission on Midnight Falls?

brave gyro
#

i am not talking about raids

coral pivot
#

Well, even without using elusiveness. They were placed there because of how little healing they would need

cunning needle
#

rogues? plural?

coral pivot
#

Well, Exile was in one guild and Perfecto was in a different one. And counting both of those that would make two rogues which does infer plural

cunning needle
#

yeah fair

coral pivot
#

Especially since both were placed in no man's land because they could make it through with low healing

coral pivot
cunning needle
#

but idk about the feint glaze

#

it's strong yeah

#

but dks just live passively without pressing anything

#

or their slightly weaker cloak on 45 sec cd

coral pivot
#

I agree that DKs got good defensives. A lot of that is taken from their mobility though

#

Most classes are in some way built around mobility, damage, and tankiness

#

And you only get to be good at 2 of those really

#

Unless it's brewmaster. He beats all the other tanks in all three basically

cunning needle
#

i disagree DKs arent mobile

#

10 second steed (that also ignores knockback mechanics)

coral pivot
#

They are a lot less mobile than other classes tho

cunning needle
#

the DKs not being mobile feels very 2 expansions old

coral pivot
#

I would say ret could be tankier and closer to DK

cunning needle
#

i mean yeah they don't have a charge

#

but neither does paladins

#

and they're definitely more mobile than paladins by nature of ignoring knockback

coral pivot
#

There's a reason that paladin, warlock, DK etc are referred to as wheelchair classes

cunning needle
#

i think the only one of those that is wheelchair in that list now is warlock

#

that's an old meme from 2 expansions ago before paladins got updated divine steed

#

and dks got everything under the sun

#

but i feel like i've also detracted from your earlier point and gone on a rant about DKs again

#

so i'll exit here

#

my bad

#

#fuckdks

coral pivot
#

Based statement though lmao

cunning needle
#

feint is very strong

#

and sub also has a lot of passive living

#

there's a reason when rogue is brought to prog, it's typically sub

#

at least in recent history

coral pivot
#

Not to mention it's amazing damage profile for progress

cunning needle
#

eh damage profile isn't that good anymore

#

it was good in TWW s3 but thats kinda deleted now

coral pivot
#

I would still say it beats both assa and outlaw in general. Especially with how fights are designed

cunning needle
#

only because this tier it's entirely just pad damage for all most of voidspire

coral pivot
#

I mean, Belo'ren and Midnight Falls are also better suited for sub

#

Chimaerus was as well

#

The fact that you do most of your damage in dance windows just makes it good for progress because outside you don't lose much

haughty gust
#

i mean sin is good on belo'ren

coral pivot
#

That one kinda depends on comp. If you got good cleave to kill the eggs then ye
For some reason we needed help on that, so I was playing sub

haughty gust
#

fair

#

but sub sucks at 3 target cleave anyways

#

just look at vanguard statistics

coral pivot
#

Agreed, but we can burst them

haughty gust
#

ye maybe it was just my guild's comp that they would be dead anyways

coral pivot
#

Yea. It's a lot about fitting the comp

analog hedge
#

i might be blind

#

but do we get nothing?

#

come on now blizz

brave gyro
#

which probably better for assa at this point

analog hedge

i dont really know the state of other class, but warrior is eating good

that buff% is insane , which makes me wonder if warrior is like turbo garbage or what

tepid crest
#

Havnt played assa in years, trying it out now that i'm going into +17's and up, with the Double Lethal and Non-lethal poisons, we should be using

Lethal = Deadly + Amplifying
Non-Lethal = Atrophic + Crippling

right?

balmy condor
#

yes

quiet star
ornate kelp
#

Was wondering how do you guys play first pull AA?
Are you perma CT'ing and overcapping CP till the pack is dotted?

quiet star
#

so better ask tank or don't use

balmy condor
#

never overcap cp

spice surge
#

But also that pack is big enough that you have infinite energy to spam ct instead of fok regardless

ornate kelp
#

Yeah makes sense

analog hedge
quiet star
#

this scenario is not easy to undertsand tbh, from one hand FB coins works from envenom, so you want to do it as much as possible

analog hedge
#

but its better to ct env after trying a few keys

quiet star
#

from other hand - dots also do damage and spreading them early before box is make sense

#

on streams guys sometimes do 2-3 extra CT before CDs in big packs

polar jasper
ornate kelp
analog hedge
#

lol relateable

#

but yeah i dunno whats the correct way for that pull, but i do both depends on the mood

#

sometimes i just CT 678 times and dont care about overcap, then goes to env

#

sometimes i ct env ct env

#

💀

#

but i do feel i pumps better then i ct env ct env

indigo mulch
#

I was actually expecting them to buff assa a bit not just nerf the other specs susge

open mantle
#

yes

#

i was praying

analog field

We are one of the strongest specs for m+

#

just below meta

#

there is no way we get buffed

analog hedge

u didnt pray enough 😔

analog field

especially for high keys

indigo mulch
#

I mean the raid overall is pretty bad for sin

wooden timber

implacable on cdm is a buff

by whatever % u individually get by playing around it

big for me bc i cant count to 5 in my head while doing other stuff

proper rain
cunning needle
#

bro doing 17 and has 0 idea about his class and just passively living through everything

They are just really good at being immobile

#

So much that other things can't even move them

#

XD

cunning needle
open mantle
#

there a rock

#

pretty sure most dks dont know there own class

cunning needle
#

don't need to be mobile if you don't need to move

#

does cheat death prok always or there is situations when u die even with it?

don't ask me what they are

ancient ingot
#

guys can i ask about spell q, its important thing? heard a lot about it but im playing with default

quiet star
#

so not likely I guess

wooden timber
#

personal preference as long as its not so low that u have gaps between gcds

wooden timber
#

caster/ranged players are vocal about max sqw

#

i played sub on 250

#

and it was fine for me

#

im on devourer this tier and playing that w 400 but

#

i wouldnt change it unless u have trouble reacting to procs

ancient ingot
#

blizz make same default for everyspec?

wooden timber
#

like if u double proc ur coup on sub in aoe and u black powder on accident

#

and cant react to it

ancient ingot
#

or on ranged i should change

wooden timber
#

bc it goes w the gcd u queued earlier

#

then lowering can be good

#

honestly if u dont know and arent experiencing problems keep it at 400

ancient ingot
wooden timber
#

if u press wrong gcd in response to procs on a spec like outlaw or sub can try and lower it

ancient ingot
wooden timber
#

only if like

#

ur pressing the gcd ud press if u dont get the proc and then the proc appears

#

and u press new button

#

but the game doesnt take it

#

lower sqw can help there sometimes

#

otherwise higher is better

ancient ingot
#

how i can check my sq?

reef flower
#

Idk if it works though

wooden timber
#

easy way to change it if ur not good w the console is this addon

#

in combat settings

spice surge
#

But like, unless you feel like the game is lagging

#

You shouldnt change it

wooden timber
#

yeah

ancient ingot
wooden timber
#

i only changed it bc it felt unresponsive on sub and outlaw

#

and i make a point of re raising it when i go back to my dh

ancient ingot
#

i was checking reddit and ppls saying sq should be around +100-150 compare ur ping

wooden timber
#

nah

#

my ping is like 10 and 110 is way too low

#

225 was the lowest i have ever had it

ancient ingot
#

my 50-60

reef flower
#

Usually more between 200-400 depending on the spec and the procs

wooden timber
#

u want it on the highest number it feels good on

#

bc its easier to have no gaps between globals the higher it is

reef flower
#

On reddit people saying 50 will automatically makes you miss gcd

ancient ingot
#

i feel like when im on rogue its not smooth idk how to explain

wooden timber
#

only lower it if the game isnt receiving the button u want when u get a proc

#

and it receives the button u were mashing before ur brain recognized the proc instead

#

on outlaw w 400 it felt not smooth and lowering it fixed it for me but on devourer 400 feels way better

#

so it just depends

ancient ingot
rocky holly
#

!ui

prisma monolithBOT
ancient ingot
#

on sin its ok but also sometimes when i spam and have no CP but already pressed buttons

wooden timber
#

bc if so ur gonna lose a dance gcd and thats bad

#

so dont go too low

ancient ingot
#

i wanna make it like 250-300

wooden timber
#

thats probably fine

#

just check for gaps though

#

bc dance duration is really tight

#

and minor gaps can be a big loss

in algethar as assa what buff do i take ? i got nonbuffed 44% crit and 19% haste

spice surge
#

Vers

iron thorn
#

No way?

#

It’s flat 5% right so it doesn’t count for dr does it?

spice surge
#

Its 3% for all of them

cinder mountain
#

If I got kingsbane offynced from DM, how long is it worth to wait for syncing again

spice surge
#

3% vers is ~162 secondaries worth of stats, 3% haste is ~132 worth of secondaries

#

Since it takes a lot more stats to get 1% of vers

crystal heath
#

is better to play sub then assa in next patch comes with ups/nerfs?

analog hedge
#

wait i thought ure joking

#

so the play on AA is vers? I always tske crit lol

balmy condor
#

I don't think crit vs vers matters that much

spice surge
#

Should be similar in terms of damage but you also take less damage

balmy condor
#

ye

And the boy that gives the buff is more on the way

alright question for the hivemind, I'm just now starting to try and push for the season { have been in and out of hospital along other things} im currently 3394 so 6 off from 3400 ive got almost all 16's and 1 17 so far. I've played sub since the start of this expansion and enjoy playing it and having fun, but the more i look at logs and raiderio the more i see sin being played / doing better overall in higher keys. The goal is to push for high 19-20 keys this season just to push myself as a player. Do i start swapping to sin at this point so i have a better chance at pushing in keys or just stay sub since im still raiding. Sidenote i have myth gaze/pbox along with myth guidon and plenty of gear to stat swap and be fine to play either spec at the moment. Thanks all

brave gyro
#

How are you under 3400 if you have a 17 and most 16s?

#

Im over 3400 with 3x15 and rest 16s

#

You can play any of the 3 specs tbf, but Assa's prio dmg is rly good

gusty pagoda
#

idkk man i just play the game

brave gyro
#

That's wild

gusty pagoda
#

i wish it was higher

brave gyro
#

MT is probably the easiest 16 you can do

gusty pagoda
#

yeah im working on it, hopefully before tuesday ill be closer to 3500

brave gyro
#

Both outlaw and Assa are doing really good. Outlaw gets nerfed on reset, Assa unchanged

gusty pagoda
#

just in a struggle of which spec to play and just wanted to gather some opinions before deciding

brave gyro
#

Assa I prefer, mostly because it's less punishing and prio dmg is just extra viable

#

It is quite squishy though

#

And depending on how tanks pull, your dmg might vary more than on outlaw

gusty pagoda
#

I'll sadly probably be puggin more then anything, So as long as they are a good tank i should be alright but you just never know with some people. Its good to know that its more squishy though i did play sin all through TWW so it shouldnt be hard for me to pick back up at all.

balmy condor
#

It’s like a 5% nerf

shell crater
#

I just saw “all damage increased by 5%”

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

But if you get a 10% nerf

shell crater
#

And sub got all damage increased by 7%

balmy condor
#

And a 5% buff

#

You’re still -5%

#

Sub is like a 1-2% buff

shell crater
#

Am I missing something? What’s causing the nerf

balmy condor
#

Cloud cover got obliterated

mighty rapids
#

Cloud cover got a huge nerf

shell crater
#

I was dooming cos I thought assa was being left behind again

mighty rapids
#

Its the reason for all their dmg

balmy condor
#

12.0.5 launched, reworked cloud cover, it was legit a 15% talent for outlaw

#

That’s obviously really stupid

#

So now it got brought back down to earth

spice surge
#

It wasnt even a 15% talent, it was 15% better than the other talent

balmy condor
#

Yeah

shell crater
#

Ah

quasi osprey
mighty rapids
#

I mean the funny thing is that even with the huge buff outlaw was good but not insanely broken....imagine something like mage or devourer getting a 15% buff

spice surge

I mean the sane outlaws agree with him, but you can want the talent to be more reasonable without tanking a nerf for it

ofc, but number wise if DM is 40 second to go and I have the kingsbane, what to do in theory?

native sun

Imo, if the pac is big enough or you need to make sure the npc dies before a mechanic, I kingsbane and wait the 20s for it to resync. Youll also have times in a fight where you just cant damage anything or forced to do mechanics (M Dragons fear for instance during intermission). Its really subjective to what youre doing in that moment.
